IMPORTANT CROP SAFETY INFORMATION

READ BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT

Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may be applied as a burndown treatment prior to planting or prior to emergence of any conventional ortransgenic variety of canola, corn, cotton, rice, soybean or sugar beet.

Post emergence row crop applications of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may be made only to crops tolerant to the active ingredient in thisproduct. Bayer CropScience does not warrant the use of this product on crops other than those designated as LibertyLink to safelywithstand the application of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide.

The basis of selectivity of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide in crops is the presence of a gene in LibertyLink crops which results in a plant that istolerant to the active ingredient of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide. Crops not containing this gene will not be tolerant to Liberty 280 SLHerbicide and severe crop injury and/or death may occur. Do not allow spray to contact foliage or green tissue of desirable vegetationother than crops tolerant to the active ingredient in this product.

Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may be applied to conventional or other transgenic cotton not tolerant to the active ingredient in Liberty 280SL Herbicide using a hooded sprayer.

Applications to apples, berries, tree nuts, and vines should avoid contact of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide solution, spray, drift or mistwith green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur to trees, berries and vines. Only trunks with callused, mature brown bark shouldbe sprayed unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed containers. Contact of Liberty 280 SLHerbicide with parts of trees, berries or vines other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage.

INFORMATIONLiberty 280 SL Herbicide is a water-soluble herbicide for application as a foliar spray for the control of a broad spectrum of emergedannual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds in LibertyLink® canola, LibertyLink® corn, LibertyLink® cotton, and LibertyLink®soybean, and in apples, berries, grapes, and tree nuts. Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may also be applied for potato vine desiccation.Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may also be applied as a broadcast burndown application before planting or prior to emergence of anyconventional or transgenic variety of canola, corn, cotton, rice, soybean or sugar beet.

Liberty 280 SL Herbicide is only foliar-active with little or no activity in soil. Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled.Apply Liberty 280 SL Herbicide to actively growing weeds as described in the Weed Control Recommendations for Row Crops sectionto get maximum weed control. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve consistent weed control. Necrosis of leavesand young shoots occur within 2 to 4 days after application under good growing conditions.

• Liberty 280 SL Herbicide is rainfast four (4) hours after application to most weed species; therefore, rainfall within four (4)hours may necessitate retreatment or may result in reduced weed control.

• Applications should be made between dawn and 2 hours before sunset to avoid the possibility of reduced lambsquarters andvelvetleaf control.

• Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are understress due to environmental conditions such as drought, cool temperatures or extended periods of cloudiness.

• To maximize weed control, do not cultivate from 5 days before an application to 7 days after an application.

APPLICATION AND MIXING PROCEDURESGround Application: Liberty 280 SL Herbicide should be applied broadcast in a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. Under denseweed/crop canopies, 20 to 40 gallons of water per acre should be used so that thorough spray coverage will be obtained. Apply Liberty280 SL Herbicide using nozzles and pressures that generate MEDIUM (about 250 to 350 microns) spray droplets category as reportedby the nozzle manufacturer and in accordance to ASABE S 572. Do not use nozzles and pressures that result in COARSE sprays.FINE sprays should also be avoided to minimize spray drift risk. Boom height should be based on nozzle manufacturerrecommendations. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Liberty 280SL Herbicide.

Aerial Application: Poor coverage will result in reduced weed control. For optimal weed control, apply Liberty 280 SL Herbicide in aminimum of 10 gallons per acre. Apply Liberty 280 SL Herbicide using nozzles and pressures that generate MEDIUM (about 300 to 400microns) spray droplets category as reported by the nozzle manufacturer and in accordance to ASABE S 572 based upon the selectedair speed. Do not use nozzles and pressures that result in COARSE sprays. FINE sprays should also be avoided to minimize spray driftrisk. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide.

COMPATIBILITY TESTING

If Liberty 280 SL Herbicide is to be mixed with pesticide products not listed on this label, test the compatibility of the intended tankmixture prior to mixing the products in the spray tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. Forother spray volumes, adjust the amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility as follows:

1. Place 1.0 pint of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1 -quart jar.2. For each pound of a dry tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to the jar.3. For each 16 fl oz of a liquid tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.4. For each 16 fl oz of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.5. After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten. Invert 10 times to mix.6. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes, and evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for separation, large flakes,

precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. If the tank mix partners are not compatible, do notuse the mixture in a spray tank.

7. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and Disposal section ofthis label.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Tank Mix Recommendations: Liberty® 280 SL Herbicide may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of otherproducts provided these other products are labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to be treated. The tank mixpartner must be used in accordance with the label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. Liberty® 280SL Herbicide cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Refer to the specific crop section forrate recommendations and other restrictions.

Liberty 280 SL Herbicide must be applied with properly calibrated and clean equipment. Liberty 280 SL Herbicide is formulated to mixreadily in water. Prior to adding Liberty 280 SL Herbicide to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly ifa herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used (see Cleaning Instructions).

Mix Liberty 280 SL Herbicide with water to make a finished spray solution as follows:1. Fill the spray tank half full with water.2. Start agitation.3. If mixing with a flowable/wettable powder tank mix partner. Prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the product in a small

amount of water. Add the slurry to the spray tank4. Add the appropriate amount of ammonium sulfate (AMS) to the spray tank.5. If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid mix partner next.6. Complete filling the spray tank with water.7. Add the proper amount of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide and continue agitation.8. If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based antifoam agent.

Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms, etc. have the correct concentration of spray solution by flushing out the spraysystem lines before starting the crop application.

If tank mix partners recommended on this label are added, maintain good agitation at all times until contents of the tank are sprayed. Ifthe spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypassline on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzles or line strainers must be 50 mesh or larger.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using Liberty 280 SL Herbicide, thoroughly clean bulk storage tank, refillable tank, nurse tanks, spray tank, lines, and filter,particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used. Equipment should be thoroughly rinsed using acommercial tank cleaner.

After using Liberty 280 SL Herbicide, triple rinse the spray equipment and clean with a commercial tank cleaner before using for cropsnot labeled LibertyLink. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and boom. Rinsate may be disposedfollowing the pesticide disposal directions on this label.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

Spray drift may result in injury to non target crops or vegetation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply when wind speed is greater than 10MPH or during periods of temperature inversions. Do not apply when weather conditions, wind speed, or wind direction may causespray drift to non-target areas. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THEAPPLICATOR.

• All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.• For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately

prior to application.

Sensitive Areas: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing awayfrom the sensitive areas).

Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might bedamaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur.

Aerial Drift Management: The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerialapplications to agricultural field crops.

1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.

Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into accountthe information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information.

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION

Information on Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift managementstrategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, butwill not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature andHumidity, and Temperature Inversions below). AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OFTHE APPLICATOR.

Controlling Droplet Size:

• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce largerdroplets.

• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produceslarger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.

• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets thanother orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increasedrift potential.

• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray anglesproduce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largestdroplets and the lowest drift.

• Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length mayfurther reduce drift without reducing swath width.

• Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unlessa greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of dropletsto evaporation and wind.

Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on the up anddownwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swathadjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)

Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment typedetermine drift potential at any given speed. Applications should be avoided below 2 miles per hour due to variable wind direction andhigh inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patternsand how they affect spray drift.

Temperature and Humidity: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets tocompensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying duringconditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.

Temperature Inversions: Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Temperature inversionsrestrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move inunpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized byincreasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as thesun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversionscan also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.

APPLICATION METHODS TO LIBERTYLINK COTTONRefer to the Weed Control Recommendations for Row Crops to select the proper application rate based upon the weeds present andtheir size. Uniform and thorough spray coverage is required to achieve consistent weed control. For ground application, apply Liberty280 SL Herbicide to LibertyLink cotton as an over-the-top foliar spray or as a spray directed to the lower one-third of the cotton stand.

APPLICATION METHODS TO NON-LIBERTYLINK COTTON

Application of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide to cotton varieties not labeled as LibertyLink requires the use of hooded spray equipmentdesigned to minimize exposure of the spray to the cotton stand. A hooded sprayer directs the spray onto weeds, while shielding thecotton stand from contact. Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep hoods on these sprayers adjustedto protect desirable vegetation. Extreme care must be exercised to avoid exposure of the desirable vegetation to the spray.

With a hooded sprayer, the spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop fromthe spray solution. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground inany way. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoidbouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground. If thehoods are raised, spray particles may escape and come into contact with the cotton, causing damage or destruction of the crop.

Herbicide rates and spray volume recommendations are presented as broadcast equivalents and must be reduced in proportion to thearea actually treated. Use the following formulas to calculate the correct rate and volume per planted (field) acre:

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON SOYBEANS |Apply Liberty 280 SL Herbicide only to soybean designated as LibertyLink. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieveconsistent weed control.


For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve theperformance of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due todrought or cool temperatures. Adding ammonium sulfate with Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may improve weed control if weeds are understress.. For optimal yield, early season weed removal is important.

Applications of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide on soybeans may be made from emergence up to but not including the bloom growth stage.

Apply Liberty 280 SL Herbicide to LibertyLink soybeans from emergence up to but not including the bloom growth stage at 22 to 29 floz/A. See weed chart to determine rate. Should environmental conditions prevent a timely herbicide application, a single application ofup to 36 fl oz/A of Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may be made to soybeans followed by one additional application at a maximum of 29 fl oz/Awith a seasonal maximum of 65 fl oz/A. Liberty 280 SL Herbicide may be applied alone, or in a tank mix application with a residualherbicide to control weeds that have not yet emerged at the time of application.

Although timely post applications of Liberty herbicide can provide complete weed control, residual herbicides at burndown, planting, ortank mixed with Liberty herbicide help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions delay timely postapplications. Residual herbicides can also reduce early season weed competition and are a key element of good weed resistancemanagement practices.
